you are right it's not exia, can't help to see the similarity it shares with exia though.

Like someone pointed out earlier in this thread, the suit is extremely similar to the RX-78, down to the head, shoulders, and skirt armor. The only difference is the torso, which seems to be like that of the Exia... So maybe that's why you were confused (plus the fact that the Excia, like most lead Gundams, resembles the RX-78 a bit anyway).

Yeah, like that chess character in the manga Dai no Daibôken, the Rook one. It was first a huge, slow and heavy character, but when Hadlar was in danger the piece split in two and revealed a slimmer and faster warrior. I doubt they'd do the same with Virtue but the big armor could be removable, maybe.

Exia - Well balanced but no obvious specialty compared to the other three.
Dynames - Sniper and long-range support.
Kyrios - Best at hit and run and the sole transformable Gundam.
Virtue - Its all about speaking softly and carryins some heavy guns.

All four are above average compared to the rest of the mechs used so far. Not as the 'ultimate robot' as the gundams in Gundam Wing did but still above average. All four probably could handle close combat just as well.

But indeed. I'd like to see a 5th one sometime. What would its specialty be? The one thing that would be likely would be a stealth based one.

Saji Crossroad (the Japanese student) seems to have no role in the story at the moment... So perhaps he becomes the GN-004 pilot after his girlfriend or sister die or something...

Or maybe one of them becomes the pilot after he dies. Same either way.

Those are actually both really insightful ideas. I don't want that Japanese student to die, but you're right about him just being there...and I think it would be totally awesome if we got a female Gundam pilot, just in the name of equality and realism.
